Dan Graham - From Homes of America (1965)

Graham @ Whitney - projector sounds 090820

I visited the Dan Graham show at the Whitney today (finally). It was a really great experience. The pavilions especially are as profound as they are socially engaging.

I took some clandestine audio with the iPhone Voice Memo app in the rooms with 2 classic film projectors projecting simultaneously. I've included them here as a little "displacement" of the ambient audio from both pieces (forgot to document the titles... anyone?):

Room 1 - Eiki projectors

Room 2 - projector type unknown

I visited EAI recently to view several videos from their collection, including various Dan Graham documents, Robert Smithson/Nancy Holt's Mono Lake, Gordon Matta-Clark's Splitting (with a couple others), Charlemagne Palestine's Body Music I & II, and a Rhys Chatham concert at The Kitchen in '81. EAI is a classic SoHo Scene era non-profit (they provided fiscal sponsorship to Woody and Steina Vasulka to start The Kitchen in '71), and I highly recommend setting up a time to hang out in the viewing room.
